he previous sandwich in the

McDonald’s Spicy Challenge, the Spicy
Jalapefio McChicken, was too easy to eat
in my opinion. Now, the challenge gets a
little tougher with the spicier Habanero
McChicken.

Habanero is atype of chili that is
about a medium on the burn factor. The
habanero is originally from the Amazon in
South America and features prominently
ina lot of Mexican food. It was thought
to be the world’s hottest chili until it was
surpassed by the ghost pepper.

As with all the sandwiches in this
Spicy Challenge series, the Habanero

  

Part two

McChicken is still the basic McChicken
with a spicy sauce.

T expected that when I ate the
sandwich, my mouth would heat up
immediately and give me “spice face’—as
the commercials promise. So, I ate the
sandwich and although it did have some
heat, it was not enough for me. [f you are
not a fan of spicy food, then this might be
your limit. The sauce is creamier than the
sauce in the Spicy Jalapefio McChicken,
but it has more of a chipotle taste than a
habanero taste.

After two sandwiches, I have yet to get
“spice face.” The last spicy McChicken will
have ghost pepper in it. It could burn my
mouth immediately, but if I do it then I will
have accomplished the McDonald’s Spicy
Challenge.
